Agile planning has improved daily coordination but reporting and dashboards still need more flexibility

I would like to see more advanced reporting and analytics customization. The existing dashboards are useful for tracking velocity, backlog, and delivery, but deeper real-time insights would improve decision-making. I would also like simpler integrations and more flexibility, especially across large teams and complex projects. Another improvement I would like is more flexible reporting and dashboard customization, especially for creating organization-specific metrics. More intuitive visualizations would also help. Digital.ai Agility can be improved mainly by making reporting and dashboard customization more flexible and intuitive. I would also like simpler integrations with third-party tools and easier configurations of automated workflows. Better dependency visualizations and real-time alerts for delivery risk would help large teams identify blockers earlier. The user interface could also be simplified to make it easier for new users. Overall, these improvements would make day-to-day planning, reporting, and cross-team coordination more efficient. There are a few areas where improvements are needed. I would like to see further improvements in user experience and navigation, especially making commonly used features easier to access for new users. More intuitive dashboard customization, better dependency visualization, and simpler third-party integrations would also help.

Manages multiple releases seamlessly

We have done some work with companies, probably four or five years ago and found the ability to manage multiple releases simultaneously as a main advantage, especially in complex programs with multiple concurrent releases. Running automated tests against back-level versions in certain environments is possible, and newer versions can be tested as well. It creates constant visibility into the test process, showing the status, bugs, and automated test results. It is a solid product in large corporations in Denmark, ensuring everyone knows where the process stands. There is a good understanding of what is critical, allowing prioritization of test cases.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Agility is highly flexible. It can do much more than what our client is doing with it. They use it in a defined way. Some at that company have a much broader knowledge of agile and SAFe, but they're given applications and a mandated way to work. We had to work within their parameters and provide an accurate transition so the data would be mapped and pushed through."

"I prefer Agility out of the three applications we work with because it has the most flexibility and can work at a higher level."

"The most valuable thing is kind of the whole package together."

"VersionOne delivers a total ALM solution for whether you are operating a single team, like Scrum and Kanban for IT operations, or implementing an agile enterprise approach, like SAFe."

"Overall, the biggest benefits have been better delivery visibility, improved planning, faster decision-making, and reduced administrative effort."

"You can use Digital.ai Agility for automating your tasks and creating your dashboard."

"It allows my clients to have one central tool to manage their agile projects."

"Digital.ai Agility helped our organization define the Enterprise Value Streams, and in the tool you can derive all user stories, features, and epics from the top-level portfolio items and value streams so any work that is done must contribute to the value streams, otherwise it should be questioned why that effort is being executed."

More Digital.ai Agility pros

"As far as we know, it's the best tool on the market right now."

"We currently successfully manage all testing projects due to ALM’s invaluable capabilities, which are listed below: Built on best practices with a flexible structure, organization, and documentation for all phases of the application testing process."

"Defects and Test management were earlier conducted with the help of Excel sheets, and now they are tracked in the Quality Center leading to accountability, dashboards, and being tracked in a single place."

"Valuable for us is having all the data in one place."

"Templates: Allows us to standardize fields, workflows throughout hundreds of HPE ALM projects."

"To someone looking at Quality Center, I would tell them: It's a good tool to use and the support is good."

"It's easy to create defects and easy to sync them up with a developer. Immediately, once created, it will trigger an email to the developer and we'll start a conversation with the developer regarding the requirements that have not been matched."

"I used ALM Quality Center in roles from test manager to test director and it was the best tool in each role."

Cons

"The machine learning features are a new capability but could be improved. This is being worked by Digital.ai currently. Multicolor simulation, specifically, could be improved."

"Improve how to create and track releases. Currently, I have to create child projects."

"It was not supporting some plugins. We wanted to migrate data that we were already using."

"The response from Digital.ai Agility is a little bit slow and could be faster."

"There is room for improvement in getting the analytics portion of the solution more integrated with the rest of it."

"The user interface could also be simplified to make it easier for new users."

"The user interface can be improved by adding Save, Edit, Add, Cancel, and Return buttons to the popup windows that are displayed when you click on a child item."

"In my work as a contractor, it's always frustrating when a client has multiple software applications that don't talk to each other and they all perform the same function. That presents a huge challenge between their IT groups."

"The dashboard was not working at first. Later on, it was difficult to customize it."

"Pricing is high compared to other solutions."

"The UI is terrible in the sense that we actually use automation scripts to avoid being in the UI, which is just fascinating, and then the data model."

"One issue I have faced was that while I was importing test cases from Excel to Quality Center, it was not asking to check out the test cases but instead it would overwrite the default test cases and create a new version for it."

"I think that since Quality Center has had functionality added over such a long period of time, that certain modules and other HP tools could be better integrated."

"Sometimes I do run my queries from the admin login. However, if I want to reassess all my test cases, then I am still doing this in a manual manner."

"I would not recommend this product If you have a small organization, which would not use this tool very often. The pricing is very expensive, but it covers a full solution, which means, you will use a lot of functionalities and gain in time and efficiency."

"Reporting is almost useless, but it does allow you to extract information directly from the database through a robust API and report with your favorite tool [excel, Crystal]."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You get what you pay for. Don't let your development teams dictate what the portfolio management team should use as the main tool."

"Comparing the pricing to other products, I think this solution is in the middle."

"The enterprise pricing and licensing are reasonable."

"The full ALM license lets you use the requirements tab, along with test automation and the Performance Center. You can also just buy the Quality Center edition (Manual testing only), or the Performance Center version (Performance Testing only)."

"I feel that the licenses are expensive. "

"I don't know the exact numbers, but I know it is pricey. When we talked to the sales reps we work with from our company, they say, "Well, Micro Focus will never lose on price." So, they are willing to do a lot of negotiating if it is required."

"The solution was expensive for us."

"Seat and concurrent licensing models exist; the latter is recommended if a large number of different users will be utilizing the product."

"We pay around $30,000 for thirty users, translating to approximately $6,000 to $10,000 per user, which is high."

"The cost of licensing depends on the number of VMs that you are running test cases on and it is not cheap."
